Описание:

American civil religion unifies the nation's culture, regulates national emotions, and fosters a storied national identity. American civil religion celebrates the nation's founding documents, holidays, presidents, martyrs and, above all, those who died in its wars.

Patriotism Black and White investigates the relationship between patriotism and civil religion in a politically populist community comprised of black and white evangelicals in rural Tennessee. By measuring the effort to remember national sacrifice, Patriotism Black and White probes deeply into how patriotism funds civil religion in light of two changes to America--the election of its first Black president and the initiation of a modern, religiously inspired war.

Based on her four years of ethnographic research, Nichole Phillips discovers that both black and white evangelicals feel marginalized and isolated from the rest of the country. Bound by regional identity, both groups respond similarly to these drastic changes. Black and white constituents continue to express patriotism and embrace a robust national identity. Despite the commonality of being rural and southern, Phillips' study reveals that racial experiences are markers for distinguishable responses to radical social change. As Phillips shows, racial identity led to differing responses to the War on Terror and the Obama administration, and thus to a crisis in American national identity, opening the door to new nativistic and triumphalist interpretations of American exceptionalism. It is through this door that Phillips takes readers in Patriotism Black and White.

Описание: Everybody says time heals all pain, but time itself brought even more pain.This book is my life experience - my story - told through the lens of relationships. It begins with my relationship with my mother and family and expands into my relationships with a long string of men who I dated and sometimes married. None of that is very interesting on the surface. We all have a string of something in our past, and my story may resemble yours or it may not. The reason I've chosen to take you on this journey is because I want to show you what it is like to struggle forward when you don't know the answers, when you wish for a better way, but there is no map to be found. I want to show you that no map is needed; the only way forward is to simply take the steps, maintain self-awareness, and try to correct mistakes when you see them. You'll mess up plenty, just like I did, and there's no crime in that, especially if you take an honest look at it all and say, "now that's something I need to change next time." I'll show you my pain, but I don't hold a grudge.In order to become what you want to be, you must kill who you used to be. It's time to "un-become" all that you don't want to be. You are not your past. Leave what you don't want. Add what you do. We can all "become" whatever we want, and I challenge you to do so.What will you do? FROM THE PREFACE
